Woman in India tells police village head ordered her gang-raped

New Delhi (CNN) — A 20-year-old woman in India has alleged that she was gang-raped by a group of men this week after the head of a village ordered them to do so, police in West Bengal said on Thursday.

The incident allegedly took place Monday in a tribal village in a very remote part of West Bengal, in India’s northeast, police spokesman Prasanta Chowdhury said.

Police have arrested 13 men for questioning in the case, and the alleged victim is undergoing medical treatment in a hospital, Chowdhury said.

Violent crimes against women have been in the spotlight in India since a 23-year-old woman was raped and beaten by several men on a bus in December 2012.

The victim later died in a Singapore hospital. The shocking attack provoked outrage across India, leading to calls for improved safety and treatment of women.
